What a day! Long, busy, but productive

I know when it ends I will miss it…….and so will the boys. I think though we are all ready for a rest

am thankfilul for a rest..... then when it starts up ready to go and like it again.

Rest to recharge... essential ingredient. No substitute, no skimping.

My dog needs to be on some pain medication for his painful joints. He’s on gabapentin. And hopefully that will work all right. Otherwise he’ll be on trazodone for sleep. He doesn’t have an apparent virus disaster. Looks positive now.

So glad it's not a virus and hopefully a couple meds will reduce pain and increase quality of life... and as OM said, "you both get to sleep again"

Just got back from taking Mom to her heart doctor. No changes there thank goodness. Went over her med schedule with him and now that we have done that with both docs, I am ready to put her back on her original schedule with the two of them. She was skipping three meds and taking two she shouldn't have

This will bump up her meds to 4 times a day instead of the two times she was doing, which was easier for the house keeper to keep up with but not what she needed. Not the house keepers fault, I just was being compelled to get here and take it over is all. I didn't get here as fast as needed apparently.

That's what happens when you don't listen to the universe. Even when it's tearing down your world around you. I tend to flow from one tragedy to the next over and over before I ever stop and take a look around.

Good luck with your mother. May the universe bless you both.

I think we may have some new visitors?? @AmbrosioMonk did we ever greet you? And welcome @Croquet11
For you both...
Here's the standard welcome for all café newcomers:
Welcome to the café.

We conduct ourselves a bit differently here than most of the rest of Lit.

Post #1 introduces the joint... and glancing back over the last 10-20 pages provides additional context.

To be clear:
1. No religion 2. No politics 3. No drama 4. This isn't a hook up thread. Take it to the DMs or go somewhere else.

Everyone is welcome but we are protective of the vibe

This applies to all who visit this thread.
If this feels like a good match, welcome...

If not then please keep looking on Lit -
There's so many threads to choose from. You're sure to find a few to your liking.

Home defense? Whatever gun you get, put a laser on it. When they invade, put the laser on the perp. The cats will do the rest.


e/t/a: I just touched the laser and got three cats into this room from that one, and I hadn't even lit the thing.

Cats do more for home security than most realize.
Embrace the cat... and if they don't know you? They'll help - hard.

Your images come out so good when you post them. Is it your camera or imgur? Any tips on getting imgur to behave for resizing?

Goodnight my friends

Whose to determine what and who normal is? Aren't we all individuals with our own thoughts, and desires? Our own feelings and lives that vary dad to day? If we were all the same would we even be here, would we even think or feel the way we do? I think our normal is our own our normal makes us unique. And we have to be true to who we are and what we think and feel to be our own normal.

I think it should probably be me! I am the most normal person I know (and I know at least 7 people) and have the experience, wit, charm, gravitas, sang-froid, acumen and perspicacity (oh, and modesty) to make a success of this role. In fact, I shall publish my manifesto (Norman Normal's Notes On Normality) on TikTok next week so you can all read it!

Good morning cafe companions. Have a wonderful weekend.

Thought for the day

People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Hope you're doing well, @likes2watchU.

Hello! I am - very busy but good.
How are you doing these days?? I know you've been off with IRL stuff recently. All good?

 

[likes2watchU]

Goodnight my friends

Good thing I'm sitting down! I stayed up later than @Rj_1954 ?!?
Sweet dreams and sleep well, RJ!

All good -- one step back, two steps forward.

Hi

 

[likes2watchU]

Is that the time? Goodness, me.
Good thing I may be able to sleep in tomorrow.
It's Home Office Rearrange Day, too, so I may not be online much while everything is disconnected.

Sweet dreams and stay warm

Hey, everyone! Did I miss the dance party?

I thought I would drop in to give you all an update and let you know I've MISSED you! I'm hoping I'm on the tail end of whatever-the-fuck-this-is!

If you haven't gotten your Flu shot for this season, it's not too late. Also get any Covid boosters you may need. I'm glad I got mine in October. Flu is NOT a benign illness! I think we tend to forget that 10s of thousands die in this country from it; many were previously relatively healthy. Millions die worldwide. There were a couple of days I thought I was going to be one of them. OK. The PSA portion of this post is over!

Thanks to a detailed Reader's Digest version of the thread from W and Likes, I feel like I am sorta-kinda-maybe caught up. There is NO WAY I'm going back 100 pages! Whew! You lot are prolific! Many others of you have reached out in DMs, and believe me, it really bouyed my spirits! I tried to give OM, B2, and Miss K more detailed info about how I'm doing.

I've gotten good care from my IRL friends, most of whom are nurses, my family, and my neighbors, and my care team.

I'm going to try to come back and post more often, building up to my full OCD mode. That might take a while. In the meantime, I'll drop in like I am tonight.

XOXO,
Lili

Genuinely lovely to see you well enough to join us once again. You have really been missed. Good luck with your continued recovery and I look forward to hearing more from you as you get better.
